DIY Pin board

I've been wanting to get Andy a pin board to display some of his art work at his school desk but couldn't get it over my heart to spend R200+ on one so I've been thinking about how to make my own.  We recently had to buy a new microwave so when I opened up the box and saw the square slab of Styrofoam my mind started working.  While I was buying craft supplies yesterday I saw a large sheet of cork and it was settled.

I took the styrofoam and cork sheet...

and using the foam as a template I traced a line with a pencil and cut out the cork...

I then rolled some glue onto the top surface of the foam... 

Stuck the cork on, weighed it face down with some books for a while and then air dried it outside...

When it was dried I displayed some of Andy's mosaic art as well as his latest two Christmas ornaments.  I also put up some letters that I decoupaged with scrapbook paper...

A fresh look for his 'school' corner and the pin board cost me all of R8 to make... can't beat that!!!
